Should be interesting poll for WG :)

 

I think they collect their own data. 

There are a lot players that consider even camo paint as too expensive so I'd be surprised if prem consumables are much of a thing at this point.

Well i think the only regularly used premium consumable is the damage control party, because that is the most important one. The other ones, especially the planes and hydrocoustic crapare useless te get premium ones.

To my knowledge that is not possible anymore (used to was 22000). I just recently checked and my BB"s didn't have that option

Offtopic: While AA seems not longer needed, I switched to sonar and it really helps me chasing DDs and avoiding Torps.

Yes you do. You can buy repair party II with scredits, and to be honest, if your Yamato has a 300.000 credit repair bill, that extra 22500 credit might be a huge save.

Now that's harsh :popcorn:

 

True though, nothing changed you can still buy all premium consumables with silver.

 

The poll results are rather surprising, if you're not running to top tier ships right away the economy isn't that hash to disallow the use of more premium consumables.

 

Damage control party is almost a must due to HE/fire spam even against CA's. 

Damage repair party on a BB imo makes a lot of sense, and it's 22500 credits which is less than you're likely to pay for a flat service fee for entering the battle!

Smoke gen makes perfect sense on USN DD's which have to rely on smokescreens or islands to launch torps ( except top tier ).

Defensive AA if you're in a division as CA with a BB or CV, it's almost certain you will be able to take advantage off the shorter cooldown. 

 

So, either the people who voted are a> bad players who don't generate enough income to support any consumables really , b> players which run standard accounts and are grinding to high tier ships as quickly as possible, c> players which feel premium consumable is 'cheating' ( no really, I know people who see it as an unfair advantage because poor people/players might not be able to use them :trollface: ), d> a combination of the above in varying degrees.

 

Now, this group is still not as large to warrant these poll results, so there must be a large group which I'm missing? Which one, idk, maybe you guys can tell me?

I have a whole bundle of them from buying tirpitz and still forget to use them. Maybe I should start using them :D

I seem to do ok without them. Maybe I should start a "hardcore" challenge :)

Would be amusing to see whose using what in game. 

 

Maybe be there's another group "to good for premium consumables :D

Ok, I'll have to check that again once I get home... Perhaps there was option to change currency or something(were default was gold?)

The reason I I said it, was because I watched ichasing video, where he went through consumables, and I thought it was good idea to use repair for 22500s, but I found only gold in my options... but looks like I missed something.

I never use them, because as a non premium user, credits are credits and I need every single of them to grind my way to Yamato. (Plus other extras like IJN cruisers and maybe a Zuiho.) 

So no, I never use any premium consumable. 
I never use camouflage either, it's really ugly to the point of the unbearableness on IJN ships.

Click on the gold icon, there is a dropdown to select silver instead.

On tier 8+ I use detection range camo on all ships (find it more useful than the other one) and premium repair party on BBs. Stock consumables on other ships... I don't feel they need premiums, most of the time I don't get hit at all and if I do get hit I get almost oneshot :p

Now also running Damage Control Party in BB's. Thanks mtm for pointing out that you can use it with silver. Running 63% winrate with Colorado in ranked now. :)
